Discussions, Games, and New Evaluations/Assessments

Today, Abbie and I had a nice discussion on how we can move our students' games forward a little faster.  We have been putting a lot of thought recently into the idea that we can hold them to greater accountability through individual assessment.  So, on Friday, we will be meeting with the class to discuss daily grading on their individual roles.  

We have decided that the teams need to have playable demos of their games ready by January 16th.  This will have them ready to present to the World Wide Workshop representatives the following week.  It is good for our students (and teachers....) to have a solid deadline to be working toward.  

All in all, both teams are working to finish their game planning by the end of class today, and their doing very well.

That's all, I hope to blog more often in the next few weeks....
